In the fifth year of being married to Rick Duncan, I burned down our house. "Wendy Frost, don't think I'll forgive you so easily. I will never love you!" shouted Rick. I sat by the window and looked at him. "You'll regret this, Rick." The next second, a cloud of red mist appeared from the ground. I was left lying in a pool of blood. I suddenly opened my eyes... I was reborn. Three months later, Rick made a call late at night during the day of his wedding with Jennifer Frost. He was sobbing. "Mindy, I regret my decision."
View MoreThe doctor said that Jennifer had severe depression and needed companionship, so my parents stayed with her every day.One day, Jennifer suddenly turned around and forced a weak smile. “Wendy, can you stay with me?”I sat by the bed with my back to her.“Are you laughing at me deep down, thinking I brought this upon myself?”I didn’t respond.“Ever since you were saved, Mom and Dad only had eyes for you. I remember one day in nursery, I was bullied, but Mom and Dad were too busy taking care of you. No one came to pick me up. That day, I wished I could become you. That way, they would care about me.”I remembered that day. Mom and Dad had each thought the other had arranged for someone to pick Jennifer up. By the time they realized she was still missing, they had feared she had been kidnapped—just like I had.The next day, Jennifer had a fever.She sobbed softly. “I’m sorry… I stole your life. Please don’t hate me…”I sat with Jennifer in silence until she finally fell asleep.
I massaged my temples. "Mom, please be clear. What happened?""Mindy… she slit her wrists. She's in the emergency room right now…"I had no choice but to take the next flight back overnight.As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Rick waiting at the exit, holding a bunch of roses.When he saw me, he smiled and walked toward me quickly. "Mindy, you're back. I came to pick you up—"Slap!I withdrew my raised hand as Rick's head tilted to the side.People passing by looked in our direction."Rick, what do you think you're doing?" I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my palms. "Jennifer is still lying in the hospital, and you're here with flowers to pick me up?"I stared at him fiercely. "Do you even have a heart?"He reached out to grab my hand, his eyes half-lowered, expressionless. "Let's go home first."I forcefully shook him off, grabbed my luggage, and strode away.The ward was filled with the sterile scent of disinfectant.Jennifer lay quietly on the hospital
"Mindy, I miss you so much." Rick buried his head into my neck from behind, gently rubbing against me.His scorching breath brushed against my skin."Mindy, do you not want me anymore? Please, don’t leave me…" Rick pleaded.I had never seen him like this before and was momentarily stunned.Coming back to my senses, I said, "Rick, you've had too much to drink. I'll call Jennifer to come pick you up.""I don’t want to go back. I just want to be with you." As he spoke, he tried to hold me again.I shouted, "Show some respect! You are my brother-in-law now.""I am not!" Rick's voice trembled with emotion, almost crying. "You know very well that I love you. How could you push me to be with someone else?"He looked at me with such grievance, just like when he used to cry after being scolded as a child.I took a deep breath. "I do admit that I have always loved you, Rick. Even if you have forgotten me, I still love you. But… we have already missed our chance. Does it still count as l
On the next day, my mother rang me, asking me to go home.As soon as I walked into the house, I saw Jennifer leaning against Rick coquettishly. They were having a happy conversation.When they saw me, they immediately fell silent. Rick also straightened up."Wendy, you're here. I'll go prepare the dishes." Mom stood up and went into the kitchen."Mom, Dad, I'm a little tired. Call me when the food's ready." I went straight upstairs.When I was about to fall asleep, I felt someone sitting on the edge of my bed."Wendy, why did you have to give me the paternity test result?" Jennifer asked gloomily.I rolled over and faced the wall. "You've known a long time ago that you're adopted, right? When you were four years old, you went out for an entire day and didn't come back. You knew from then on, didn't you?"Jennifer hugged me from behind and rested her chin on my back."You're always so smart, my dear sister."I felt like a venomous snake was crawling on me.Jennifer said quiet
I suddenly opened my eyes.The call was from Rick."Rick, have you got the wrong number?""No, Mindy..." Rick sobbed. "I remember everything...""I regret my decision. After you jumped off the building, Mom and Dad told me everything..."I was shocked. "What do you mean?""On 25th August, in the fire..."25th August was the day that I jumped off a building in my previous life.Rick kept on crying on the other end of the line."Rick, I don't know what you're talking about."With that, I hung up.I couldn't sleep at all that night.Rick was reborn as well.I didn't expect Rick to be reborn as well.My wedding gifts were a button and a paternity test result.The button was for Rick. It was from the shirt when he was kidnapped.The paternity test result was for Jennifer. It showed that she was not related to my parents.I gave Rick the button because I wanted him to become suspicious.I stayed up until the next day.Someone knocked on the door. The screen showed that it
A short while later, Jennifer woke up.She looked at me with tearful eyes. "Wendy, am I not your sister? Why do you have to do this to me?"Rick glared at me. "I knew it was you! Why did you do it, you madwoman?"Jennifer lay in Rick's arms looking weak. "Rick... Wendy said... that I'm not Mindy... Rick... please tell me it's not true.""Of course, it's not true! She's just jealous, that's all." Rick pulled Jennifer into his embrace."It's impossible for me to make a mistake. You're Mindy."I couldn't stand them anymore. I took out a piece of paper and threw it in front of Rick. "Let's get a divorce, Rick."Rick looked at me with a face full of disgust. "What games are you playing again?""Sign the paperwork and then I won't stop you from being with whoever you want."Rick became a little hesitant.I knew what he was hesitating about. "Our families will continue to be business partners."Jennifer looked at Rick with tears in her eyes.Rick asked after a while, "Are you seri
On the day that I was kidnapped, so was Rick.The human traffickers took us to countless places to hide. Rick would always cry for a long time. I didn't want him to be beaten up all the time, so I would secretly comfort him.The lucky thing was that we were rescued before we were sold.When we parted ways, he only knew that the short-haired girl who smiled a lot was Mindy."Don't forget me, Mindy," he said.To Rick, Mindy was his childhood sweetheart who kept him company during the toughest times.I did remember him, but he didn't remember me.When we met again, the Duncan family was having financial difficulties and hoped to have a marriage alliance with my family.Because of Jennifer, my parents and I never brought up the kidnap.Even Rick's parents thought that Jennifer was Mindy.On the second day of me and Rick's marriage, Jennifer returned after being missing for six months.Rick looked at Jennifer, who had short hair and always smiled, and my parents. He had finally f
When Jennifer saw the news, her face paled. "That's the route I would take if I went home. If I had gone home earlier, would I..."Rick hugged her and patted her back. "Don't be afraid. You're fine now, aren't you?""Can you give me a lift home, Rick?" Jennifer asked coquettishly. "I'm scared."Seeing their actions, I rubbed my abdomen.I was nine weeks pregnant.It was only confirmed yesterday. I previously wanted to give Rick a surprise.However, I decided to have an abortion that day.'I'm sorry, baby. You still don't have a chance to be born into this world.' I thought.In the hospital, Dr. Dixon was a little shocked when she heard that I wanted an abortion. "Are you sure about this? Does your husband know about this?"Dr. Dixon knew how much I wanted a child. She had seen me quite a lot of times during the past two years.I nodded. "I'm sure. I want to go through with the abortion today."Seeing how determined I was, Dr. Dixon arranged for the abortion to take place.A
I suddenly opened my eyes and pressed my chest.The sound of my heart pounding exploded in my ears.During my previous life, I was determined to end my life, so I jumped off a building.Until the moment I died, Rick Duncan still had a disgusted look on his face.The memories of my previous life caused my heart to ache. I felt like I was overwhelmed with pain.The laughter of Rick and Jennifer Frost came from downstairs."Rick, you're so annoying. I can't believe you're not willing to come to the art exhibition with me!"Rick explained, "I have plans during the morning. I'll take you to a banquet in the evening.""Really?" Jennifer was overjoyed. "You're the best, Rick!"Jennifer's lips curved into a smile. She wrapped her arms around Rick's neck and kissed him."Don't let your sister see this." Rick sounded like he was giving a warning, but he still pinched Jennifer's nose intimately.Standing upstairs and seeing how intimate they were, I felt my heart ached.Jennifer sudde
